The Aqua Hotel on Windamar Street in Fort Lauderdale is a 39-room boutique hotel made from a smaller old hotel and an abandoned building next door. It's part of the redevelopment of North Beach Village, where an investor group has been buying up old hotels, completely renovating them to create a European-style, pedestrian-friendly town.
